After reading what you just wrote here, I am now much more convinced you are experiencing a Schizophrenic episode. Please please seek treatment immediately.

Bossrat, you're speaking in platitudes, and being vague. No there are not many explanations for multi day long psychosis. In fact, psychosis from Adderal and all those other things you mentioned is a more rare side-effect than the percentage of people who will get Schizophrenia to begin with. So please, fully understand a topic before you interject.

Please realize Schizophrenia affects 1.1% of the American population, and that's just the general form, and that which is diagnosed. The real number is likely higher. It is neither an 'extreme diagnosis' nor is it that rare.

This is a very dangerous assumption. Often drug use brings out peoples underlying mental health condition. Do not assume they are related just because you started taking Adderal recently. In the case of my friend, he attributed his symptoms to first time cannabis use in college, thinking if he just stopped smoking it would go away. It didn't.

I also want to point out that the feeling of being sick/tired after your 'episode' is also very common. As I've been told by a doctor, this is due to your brain going in overdrive for a few days, and then crashing. Typically it results in a a deep depression.

It always starts out small like this though, and it's extremely common for a person after their first few episodes to still not believe they have Schizophrenia, so please don't trust yourself.

I should also be clear, we could be talking about Schizoaffective Disorder. Schizophrenia is sort of umbrella term. I find it's often used incorrectly. Lots of people who suffer still have prolonged periods of being completely normal and lucid, some even go into year long remissions. It's a complicated disease, and you've displayed the tell-tale first sign almost to a T.

Hi qwertyFish thank you so much for reaching out.

I have a close family member, and close friend who both suffer from Schizophrenia. Although I'd hate to make any type of diagnosis over a medium like this, I feel you've been descriptive enough for me to make an educated guess.

Schizophrenia is a fairly complex disorder with varying levels of severity. What you described sounds very close to what a lot of people describe as their first 'episode', which commonly comes between the ages of 18-30. It includes what you've described, a long period of being awake, with intense thoughts, paranoia, and a inescapable need to 'do something' (such as wipe your devices).

One of the greatest challenges of dealing with this is finding treatment fast enough before the disease progresses. Often once it progresses, the person no longer is able to realize something is wrong. As you've described it, you still have that sinking feeling that something isn't right. Often at this stage general practitioners will not understand the disease enough to make a diagnosis, so it's important you see a trained psychiatrist as soon as possible.

For your question about evaluating your condition objectively, this is part of the core treatment of Schizophrenia and it's related disorders, so it would be best a doctor helps you with this. Adderral is a known to aggravate Schizophrenia as it interferes with Dopamine, I'd advise to cut down or stop taking it until you can speak to a doctor. There is also a very small chance you are experiencing a reaction to long term Adderall use it's self, experiencing a Amphetamine psychosis which has very symptoms to Schizophrenia but is temporary. Do not risk it though, for a lot of people if Schizophrenia advances, they are unable, or refuse to seek treatment.

Does this not make anyone else queasy? This is such a rabbit hole. Not to mention they list all these major companies on their homepage implying they're using AMP when it looks like the project only started early-mid summer. Seems a bit deceptive trying to oversell people into adopting it when they barely know if it works or wont be superseded shortly. Frustrating when big companies do this in open source.

The term hacker is just so overused at this point. Does it just mean someone who is good at tech in the Bay?

This is hilarious. It's called the complete book to Angular2 when it hasn't even been officially released yet.

Only thing irritating is the constant comparisons to Apple, not just in this article but any article. If a company can't compete with Apple it's suddenly a weak company that the author suggested the employees should quit from to 'join a startup'.

This is asinine. Motorola has licensed deals with almost every American and Canadian police/government force. They basically own digital RF encryption. They have a foothold in this industry and it's not close, and they can't be pushed out. If I was an employee in their radio division I could really care less if they are involved in phones are not.

It's still a billion dollar company, what are we even saying 'bye' to?

Looks EXACTLY like cybersquatting to me. You have to learn to read behind the lines here. I've had to deal with these people before, they are infuriating. Heres the facts that suck

- Has the domain for 16 years, doing nothing with it. - Strings a long a deal for purchase because it doesn't meet his demands. - Continues to fight extremely hard to do nothing with said domain.

I find it convenient the author never mention why the guy backed out of the deal, probably because his demand was $50k+ and completely unreasonable.

You see waves of technology adoption based a lot on language barriers. We're seeing this with Larval right now in India/SE-Asia, we've seen it with VB6, then .NET into Russia/South-America, and we're just starting to see node.js picking up in China.

People forget, documentation needs to be written, interpreted, then passed down through different channels, like programming communities, schools, person 2 person. This can take 4 years+. As soon as English speakers have mastered it, China is just starting to for example.

Node is here to stay, and it's already at a point with decent enterprise adoption, meaning it's going to take a lot of money and time to reverse the trend.

Jesus... 2013, already tossed to the side.

Please, no. Stop the JS framework insanity. There is zero room for this, it will benefit nobody, and just add static to already successful frameworks. If you disagree, just ask yourself whens the last time anybody said, "I think we need more variety in JS frameworks".

There isn't even an explanation on why they built this or released it, only that, "oh hey guys it's event driven". ASP.NET did this over a decade ago Twitter, but thanks for coming out.

I agree with the others, pretty common, even if you're not a company that's been acquired. I noticed most of them went away once I removed myself from my companies profile on Linkedin. They will typically try to downplay your pay/benefits. I had several just tell me I'm wasting my potential by living in the NorthEast as opposed to California.

I usually respond to such nonsense by countering with some huge number. I figure it's better than ignoring it as one day they might take the bait and I can cash in.

Are you suggesting it costs your team less to deploy on premise than in the cloud? How could your company ever run a server more effectively and cheaper than a could provider?

Well, hedge-funds don't play arbitrage games anyways. This is for scalpers and mostly day-traders. Banks don't even really play arbitrage - not as a means to profit at least.

Only benefit to being a hedge-fund is you have lots of money to play with, which you'll need because the profits in arbitrage are very thin. You need likely 20K+, good spreads, fast execution, and an automated strategy to consider it worth your time.

People will give you abstract answers to a question like this.

For something concrete, I suggest sticking to C syntax like languages like c#/js/java and even python to some extent. As history would show, the most popular languages seem to follow this syntax and it's fairly easy to pick up new languages based off experience. I went from c++->delphi->c#->js relatively easily.

My personal opinion as well is that now is the time to start getting into security software, pentesting etc. The proliferation of new languages, frameworks and api's is a pandoras box waiting to be opened by the security community. We've barely scratched the surface, as today's security community is really, really far behind. Once they catch up, and more automated tools and exploits start showing up that target these newer applications, these hipster startup companies will be forced to start spending. Right now it's mostly financial institutions, and companies using legacy stacks like php, wordpress, drupal that are being attacked.

That or data science/parallel programming.

I haven't noticed this, strangely most who have commented have, but I and my colleagues feel the opposite. At the company I'm at now, everything is angular. Mobile, main site, ancillary sites, and administration dashboard. In this case Angular is a HUGE productivity booster as we are sharing modules between multiple projects. This is great for a number of reasons, but I think whats always undervalued is it makes code reviews much easier, allows better use of CDNs and is more secure (less custom code = less attack vectors).

At a previous job in a major corporation we wouldn't use it in production, but given the chance others would always use angular for internal tools/portals/mockups etc. I think mostly because it was the fastest way to make something, with Visual Studios support of Angular syntax, and similar MVC style to what the team was used to. There is also something to be said about being able to reason about your code long after you wrote it. I think Angular is by far much easier to read than any other structure I've seen so far (yes even React). Also until Reacts testing libraries can catch up Angular is still the winner here - not the best but not the worst.

On reflection, I think Angular really shines in Enterprise software, with large teams. I agree it might be wasted time on one-off projects with 1 or 2 people. I've even been in a board meeting where the big emphasis was it's auto sanitization in application with lots of user input/display would save the company hours of baby sitting jr dev's. So you can see why verbose/defensive-programming can mean a lot on big teams.

Microsoft is really stepping it up. They've finally learned how to make a honeypot ;)

His comment was offhand, but was rooted in truth. Wake up, this is a 'bay' thing. People in this thread are throwing around salaries that amount to more than any doctor, lawyer, or politician makes in most major world cities. A lot of people in here need a reality check, comparing their 'profession' of front end jQuery to what a doctor does - I can't believe the person above made that remark. You're all worth what the market will pay, yes, but have some humility please. We all know we're in a bubble here, no need to get a big head about it and act like 100K+ is your god given right to what amounts to one of the least capable, accountable, and professionally trained careers in the developed world. Pipe down, nobody in the late 90's bubble talked like this.

I developed exactly this type of software, like 5 years ago. This is just click bait.

There are numerous ways to pack, and unpack code. It's really going nowhere tbh. It is mostly a meta-game between you and the person you'd expect to be RE your code. You think he's going to use a vm to RE? Then you prevent your code from running in that vm. You leave red herrings - like obscuring control flow, disabling ability to set breakpoints, delay unpacking, and phantom unpacking (where it only truly unpacks a certain percentage of the time)

There will NEVER be a way to prevent RE, and there will never be true polymorphic code. The world is still flock with people fluent in ASM and low level debugging, and all code will revel itself. Commercial protection suites aren't even where the real tricks come into play, malware and 'anti anti-virus' packers, are at the forefront of ingenuity. Even when the hardware is a part of the protection (a la Xbox) it still means nothing. I've seen some nasty stuff done to electronic payment devices by rather unsophisticated people, and those are some of the most hardened systems available (think self destruct if the casings are opened, or if JTAG is conntected)

You sound like a first year economics student, everythings still so black&white to you, just stop with the cliche 'market will bare' stuff at least. This theory means less and less these days. Many are realizing it's quite the opposite. In situations where the market wont bare the rich and powerful's offerings, the rich and powerful just go out of their way to force you to bare it... An example, oh well JimmySuperstore's market won't bare price hike, so they'll just make that money up by offshoring and avoiding taxes thereby sticking it to the market anyways.. Another good example, my apartment raises rent 20% in 4 years (illegally) and when caught and fined, just decided to demolition the entrie building so they could gentrify all the people who couldn't 'bare' their prices, and rebuild so they wouldn't be legally required to pay grandfathered rates to past tenants. There is no more such thing as market correction anymore, only displacement. Just a simple look at inflation adjusted year-of-year wages since the 1980's will show you recessions and market corrections disportionately effect the poor, and there is no hope or chance of regression, it's too late now, only a world financial collapse can adjust inequality at this point.

Sorry for being so Keynesian, but it's the damn truth.

It's very difficult to unpack this, just so much wrong.

First let's start with the misconception that io.js is "bleeding edge" or that it is any less stable than node. This is 100% factually incorrect, hundreds of open tickets have been closed with io.js that have not for node. It is tenfold more stable, and it's trajectory has already outpaced in two weeks what nodejs has in a year and a half.

Second, this is not a win for either party or the community. For the community, you'll get people like you who now think node.js is somehow automatically more stable and reputable because they have a fancy big-wig 'foundation'. For io.js team, it now shows Joyents true colors that they are stubborn and wish to continue down their path and are now unlikely to merge at all in the future. For the node.js team, it now means they are just prolonging their decline. They still have not a single full time node developer, and have lost almost all of the developers who actually made node.js with 0% chance they'll ever come back (the governance will never be compatible with Joyents new corporate dictatorship model).

Finally, the choice to use io.js should not be ES6, it should be the fact it's a more stable, secure, and actively developed project, plain and simple. It does not force you to use ES6 so I don't know why you're talking about browser adoption at all. I have io.js running in production right now and I didn't change a single line of code when 'porting' my codebase from an old node.js installation.

Good intentions, terrible advice, sorry.

Contracts are not just for 'the courts'. It is a standard business practice of having some clear terms for the both parties. Not only that, but any company who could sue and, 'wipe you out' already has their own contracts and NDAs, you not showing up with one just looks unprofessional. It should be also used as a place to outline your workflow and what the client should expect from you. Clients love this, trust me.

To tell new developers that, 'go ahead and put 5K-50K of your earnings on good faith' is just a dangerous thing to say.

Makes me feel guilty. I've been putting off a free MRI (Canada) for over a month because I'm essentially too lazy to go up the street to have it done. Knowing there is likely people who would work a long time to have it done, and probably need it more than me is a good kick in the butt.

I'm going to be honest here and say you're like the best person for the job you have. The guy who got VP? He's a more qualified manager than you. The guy who does support? He's got 8 years experience and a masters degree. You? You're the best developer they have. This practice is even more common in enterprise. I worked in tech for the largest company on the planet (take a guess) and it was routine to find the best developer was as most a team lead, never management. HR strategically will shoehorn these people but cutting off their avenues for growth. In my experience however, if it's money you're after these companies will happily shell out. It's not money their trying to save, it's expertise. It will also pretty common in enterprise for guys to NOT want to be moved up. Not everyone wants to put their neck on the line, and once you move up it's impossible to move down.

Poorly written article mostly. Largely just fluff and opinion, and rehashing of problems other people have mentioned. I swear everytime I read one, I expect a unique take, but they always end up the same. Two or three paragraphs hinting that it might not be performant, and another 3 or 4 paragraphs talking about how Google doesn't even use it and how Angular is somehow hard to learn. Only thing that surprised me is he didn't tell us about how great React is at the end of the blog.

I'm not sure if you're serious, and I think that's why nobody is stating the obvious - not everyone is building the same thing as you. There is not a chance in hell my company could get away with using just plain html. We have an interactive site, with a large team, with multiple workflows, client libraries and inter-connected dependencies. You're asking a really silly question, just because you made a shack in your backyard does not equate to making a house, then asking the home builders, "I made my entire shack out of wood and nails, why can't you make your house like that?"

This was only a slight problem a few years ago. Now the landscape is quickly changing. You'll find a lot of employers specifically seeking "onshore" workers. They usually state it's because of timezone differences, but their off the record comments clearly point at them associating offshore with low quality work from past experiences. The trick to spot them is look for employers that have had many job postings already and whose posts show they care about the technology. If it looks like the product owner themself posting, or they are talking specific modern technologies, or asking for github accounts for reference, then there is a good chance they respect quality. I have had amazing success using this strategy. The first two jobs I took both employers almost forced me into taking a higher pay they were so happy to finally find somebody who can deliver quality and communicate effectively. The market corrects itself, I watched myself as my former employer fired and hired 4-6 cheap workers in a row until he finally became fed-up and reposted the job for triple the starting rate.

So yeah, spot the guys who have done their fair share of hiring, the ones who have been burned already, and hit them with your best quality focused pitch. I take this controlled approach, bid high, and do my research.

I think if these sites need improving at all, it's putting the spotlight more on the employer. These lowballers will become more visible to the seasoned developer who will avoid them, thereby only attracting the lower quality workers who don't even bother to read past the title of the job post. Half the battle is these employers just don't always know better yet, let em loose a few thousand and they'll come around quickly.
