11,501,529 | null | comment | p4wnc6 | 1,460,684,618 | If they provide less than ideal for you, then you leave. Providing less than ideal is less than ideal for them, unless they don't care about losing you, in which case you probably don't want to be there anyway.<p>Out of the four jobs which I have voluntarily chosen to leave, three of my four resignations were because the employer stopped giving me meaningful work that prevented skill atrophy in my primary areas.<p>Preventing this skill atrophy on my own time, such as with side projects, is (a) ridiculous and (b) a <i>physical</i> impossibility because of the burden of working hours and exhaustion demanded by the employers I had at the time.<p>It's absolutely unreasonable to say that someone must find a way, outside of work hours, to effectively perform an entire second job's worth of practice and development, because their job isn't giving them work that exercises them.<p>It's like hiring a super model, asking him or her to sit on a sofa eating candy bars all day as the work you are paying them for, but then telling them to use their personal time to remain fit for supermodeling. It's a patently absurd idea.<p>You're free to say the words "developers should take control of their own career development" if you want to, it's just absurd. I mean, in once sense of course you're in control. Even if the career development happens at work, it's <i>you</i> doing it, so <i>you</i> (by definition) are in control.<p>But you aren't just saying "you're in control" in the obvious, tautological sense. You're going further to say that you should place no expectations whatsoever upon your employer to match up real-world business items to your skill set in any way that is related to appropriateness or which factors in your goals. That's the absurd part. You're saying "don't expect your manager to actually <i>manage</i> anything ... just resign yourself to the idea that they will randomly throw undifferentiated business concerns at you like a dartboard."<p>Real <i>management</i> acts as a double-sided adapter, with bespoke, unpleasant business realities on one side, and well-fitting tasks that are matched up to employees on the other side. Converting bespoke, unpleasant business needs into appropriate, on-topic tasks for specialized employees <i>is</i> managing. Saying an employee shouldn't care about this, to me, is among the worst advice I can think of. This should be one of the primary things any employee cares about.<p>Because the one thing that absolutely won't happen, simply by physical limits of exhaustion and life responsibilities, is for you to personally cultivate or exercise those skills during non-work time. Yeah, maybe you can read a tech book here and there. Maybe you go to a conference. Maybe you occasionally do some open-source work. And all of that put together amounts to maybe 5% of what's actually necessary to stay sharp and competitive in the employment market.<p>Instead, you absolutely should hold the employer accountable. They are asking you to bear an insane opportunity cost of lost time whenever you're working for them -- so much lost time in fact that if that time is not actively dedicated to building competitive skills, you will quickly become unemployable and you'll be so atrophied that you'll have no option but to stay at that employer because no one else will want the shell-of-a-former-expert your current job will have morphed you into.<p>There are a lot of good reasons to quit a job. You might not be paid the amount you prefer. You might not receive benefits that enable the life you prefer. And you might not be asked to perform tasks that cause you grow in skill, solve challenges, or learn new things in the way you prefer.<p>For me, these are not tradeoff-able. An employer either satisfies <i>all</i> of them adequately, or else it's not really an employer but just a thing wasting my time that I quit from. | null | 11,501,141 | null | [

11,501,571 | null | comment | the_af | 1,460,685,416 | The definitions of open source are actually quite technical. They are not vague like you suggest.<p>It's unavoidable that people will be confused about terms outside their area of expertise. Since you mentioned gamers: I shudder at the vast multitude of confusing terms the various gamer communities use, like for example in WoW.<p>However, I think you're overstating your case: I suspect few gamers, if any, will confuse leaked source code or code which you're not allowed to use in any way as "open source". I don't expect them to undestand every nuance, but surely even they understand source code you're not allowed to run or modify is not "open" in any meaningful interpretation of the term :) | null | 11,501,500 | null | [

11,501,580 | null | comment | andrewcuneo | 1,460,685,583 | I had almost given up on getting any traffic here. So, I'm excited that I got some good questions. Let me try to answer them.<p>1. It is kind of a bummer that we don't support Swift. As silly as it is, probably the main reason for this is that at FB we only really code in ObjC (at least for the near term), so we wouldn't have any local use cases (which both drive our development and help us validate that the concept is useful).<p>It is also true that the need for this type of system is a lot greater in ObjC. Like you said, Swift is awesome in terms of its support for immutable objects and it even supports something a lot like ADTS out of the box (they call them "Associated Values" in their enums).<p>Because Remodel makes these nice concepts available in Objective-C, it's a useful tool for people who like Swift but are, for whatever reason, working in a Objective-C codebase.<p>Also, at some point we may make a Swift output option and it would have value in terms of the plugins that can make simple operations like encoding / decoding or other basic helpers.<p>2. A .ts file is a TypeScript file, which is a language that Microsft developed which compiles to JavaScript. TypeScript looks a lot like JavaSript, but it has types.<p>We chose TypeScript for the implementation of Remodel because we liked the fact that it's based on JavaScript which is extremely popular, well-known, and also suited toward functional programming. TypeScript uses JavaScript's familiar syntax but adds compile-time support for strong types and generics, filling in one of the major gaps in the language.<p>3. I actually wasn't aware of mogenerator -- but looking through it, I can see that there is some overlap and also important differences.<p>One of the best benefits of Remodel is that once you start generating your models through it, people cannot add custom code to them.<p>This lines up with a big section in the blog about architecture ("Modeling Your Architecture"). To sum it up here: there are a lot of benefits to keeping models completely free of custom logic and instead putting that logic into behavior classes.<p>In mongenerator, however, it appears that every entity gets a subclass to add custom code, which is at odds with this philosophy.<p>There are also some differences around the focus on CoreData in mongenerator while Remodel objects are completely free of assumptions about how they're stored, transported, etc.<p>4. Remodel generates simple encode/decode methods for you out of the box, and the plugin system we have could allow you to generate other transformation logic for your models.<p>I honestly don't work with CoreData that much, so I'd need more details to give a better answer to this question.<p>5. You're right that we're not talking about xcmodels here. Overall, Remodel objects operate very much as vanilla Objective-C objects, so the workflow is pretty basic and familiar:<p><pre><code> * Create a .value file, for example MyModel.value:
MyModel {
NSString *prop1;
}
* Run '$ remodel-gen MyModel'
* This yields 2 new files (MyModel.h and MyModel.m)
* Add MyModel.h and MyModel.m to your project
* Make behavior classes that use the Model for something interesting
* That's pretty much it :)
</code></pre>
There's no support right now for going back and forth between a .value file and a CoreData .xcmodel file. In theory that shouldn't be too hard to create if there's demand for it. | null | 11,497,858 | null | [

11,501,583 | null | comment | mikestew | 1,460,685,672 | It is crazy, and thankfully not all that common. But I've observed it often enough to never trust a resume. Granted, far more often with SDETs[0] than "regular" devs, but I've seen a few of the latter that would struggle with or outright fail FizzBuzz. The craziest part, though, is that most <i>worked someplace else previously</i>. Did they outright lie about previous roles? I wouldn't believe they lied, but I'm certain they blatantly exaggerated.<p>[0] Why more common with SDETs? My theory is that SDET is easier to fake, and if your SDET "development" consists of var foo=FindUIElement("bar");foo.click(), then FizzBuzz could give you trouble. | null | 11,500,798 | null | [

11,501,696 | null | comment | greggman | 1,460,687,636 | My editor had no problem indexing all of Chromium (fairly large project). It also indexed external libraries. It indexes new code as you write it so type a foo function, next time you type foo you get help immediately. It added standard libraries by default and you can add any other library (like I have it indexing Unity3D's mono libraries).<p>I didn't notice more than a 100-200ms delay in seeing the result (which happened in other threads so no effect on my editing). About the same I'd expect with a round trip over the the internet. It shows both help at the cursor as well as definitions and references in another pane in that time.<p>It doesn't look as slick as Kite but it also seems to suggest it's possible to do this all locally. If nothing else you at least have some context (the language) so you don't have to search all data, only data relevant to that language. You even know where in the language I am so you know when to search ids and which subset of ids to search.<p>On top of that you're basically going to have me sending a gig of source to you to index something like Chromium which will take hours on my crappy connection.<p>Let me be clear, I think kite looks amazing and I'd be happy to pay for it if it was local. Maybe you download the DB to my machine. I'm not nearly as comfortable with you reading my terminal though. I'm sure you can turn that feature off but that's a feature I liked.

But Vogt had a shared interest in the emerging self-driving field from his days at MIT and its entry in the DARPA challenge. More importantly, Vogt had millions in capital from his successful sale of two previous start-ups in TV and video gaming, along with investor contacts.<p>Can someone shed light on this paragraph?

11,501,691 | null | comment | recoil | 1,460,687,599 | > First we had console editors, [...] Then we had full IDEs [...] Now the trend is toward "enhanced text editors" (VSC/Atom/ST): editors that can have modular plugin functionality and interact with the console so you don't lose any of its versatility. They're usually faster and more lightweight than IDEs but keep most of what you need<p>Emacs has functioned as an "advanced text editor" for at least 20 years and probably longer. There's a very common misconception that Emacs is a "console editor", but the reality is that when you first launch it in a windowed environment you get something that looks an awful lot like Sublime, VSCode & Atom: a text editor window with a menubar and toolbar similar (yes, it's not perfect!) to what you'd expect from any other editor native to your chosen platform.<p>The time investment involved in learning how to use it is also considerably less than implied elsewhere in this thread. In fact I really doubt that it's significantly more than you'd have to spend educating yourself about any other "advanced editor"'s configuration, keybindings for non-obvious actions, extension mechanism, etc. It's easy enough to learn the (admittedly unconventional) keybindings for a handful of common things like opening and saving files when you have the menus to refer to, and by default it'll even open a buffer containing clickable hyperlinks to helpful things like tutorials. I still haven't seen an editor or IDE with better built-in help.<p>Even configuring Emacs isn't all that hard: there's a built-in interface for installing packages, most of which will pretty-much auto-activate once installed (i.e. less need to mess around with elisp), and for changing configuration there's "customize", which is a nicer way to change configuration variables than just editing a JSON file. When you do have to start writing some elisp code (you'll almost certainly have to write a little) the documentation is superb and there are more than enough resources on the web to help you. A programmer who is already familiar with a dynamic language like JS will probably have less trouble learning elisp than a C programmer did 20 years ago.<p>None of which is to say that there aren't areas where Emacs isn't behind. I'd like to see better support for projects, snippets and auto-completion out of the box, as well as being more nicely pre-configured for popular languages like JavaScript and Python. Emacs 24 is four years old at this point, and that's a very long time for any developer tool to stay still.<p>These days I'd say the most confusing thing about Emacs is working out which of the many competing packages you should choose for whatever it is you're trying to do. Age is working against it here, because what was the almost-universally-recommended package five years ago - for which you'll get plenty of helpful google search results - has often been superceded by something better.<p>But with a handful of plugins installed (yasnippet, helm, projectile, auto-complete) it's (IMO of course) still the best editor out there. | null | 11,498,607 | null | [
