This is the first time third-party developers will be able to implement a direct means of monetizing their skills themselves, but it’s not the first time developers have earned money from their skills.

How to Prevent Coding Hereos From Destroying the Team

Gitter is joining the GitLab Team

Gitter will continue to operate as a standalone network, continuing to making its project chat capabilities available to all. Over the coming months, the GitLab integration will be improved to include ‘Login with GitLab’ and the ability to easily create chat rooms and communities from GitLab groups and projects.

APFS Going Live, the end of HFS+ is Near

iOS 10.3 introduces a new Apple File System (APFS), which is installed when an iOS device is updated. APFS is optimized for flash/SSD storage and includes improved support for encryption. Other features include snapshots for freezing the state of a file system (better for backups), space sharing, and better space efficiency, all of which should result in a more stable platform. Customers updating to iOS 10.3 should first make a backup given that the update installs a new file system.

Apple’s Lottery for 2017 Worldwide Developers Conference Tickets Kicks Off – Mac Rumors

Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2017

We learn something new every time we run our survey. This year is no exception:

A common misconception about developers is that they’ve all been programming since childhood. In fact, we see a wide range of experience levels. Among professional developers, 11.3% got their first coding jobs within a year of first learning how to program. A further 36.9% learned to program between one and four years before beginning their careers as developers.
Only 13.1% of developers are actively looking for a job. But 75.2% of developers are interested in hearing about new job opportunities.
When we asked respondents what they valued most when considering a new job, 53.3% said remote options were a top priority. A majority of developers, 63.9%, reported working remotely at least one day a month, and 11.1% say they’re full-time remote or almost all the time.
A majority of developers said they were underpaid. Developers who work in government and non-profits feel the most underpaid, while those who work in finance feel the most overpaid.

We discuss a compelling case against Object-Oriented programming, is it truly all bad? Plus the cold chills the new Rails Doctrine gives us, the worrying long-term ramifications of progress over stability & convention vs configuration strategy.

Plus a chat about the market position of Jetbrains’ AppCode, blaming Java & unplanning your work and travels.

Chris’ First Laptop Love

Pismo

Pismo Lust

With cues from the iBook, Pismo implemented the cost-saving, streamlined unified motherboard architecture, with a 400 or 500MHz processor and 100MHz front-side bus. FireWire? Check. AGP graphics? Check. Airport? Check. Expansion bay? Check. Still cool 10 years later? Check.

In the field, a fresh 50 Watt-Hour Apple battery with a full charge yields up to 5 hours of use. Using two batteries can increase that to as much as 10 hours. Replacement batteries can boost that by up to 60%, for a potential 8 hours with one battery and 16 hours with two!

Apple joins Confederate flag boycott, removes apps that use flag in offensive or mean-spirited ways

Currently, affected titles include Ultimate General: Gettysburg; several Hunted Cow/HexWar Games Civil War games; and more. The ban has also affected select apps, like “Southern Pride (Rebel Flag) Wallpaper,”

In Washington, Google is already a political behemoth. The tech giant spent more than $3.8 million to lobby federal lawmakers on privacy, patent and immigration reforms just in the first quarter of 2014, according to federal records. So far in the 2014 election cycle, the company also has donated $1.1 million to federal candidates.

Why don’t designers take Android seriously?

Hack Programming Language

Hack Isn’t PHP – Marco.org

PHP has always been poorly designed and poorly stewarded, but it\’s appealing to developers because it\’s easy to learn (and tons of programmers already know it, so it\’s easy to hire for), it\’s everywhere and runs on anything, it\’s very fast, and it\’s very simple to host and maintain server-side. In short, it\’s extremely practical.

Since Facebook is migrating its own code to Hack, pure PHP will become a less-tested second-class citizen on HHVM. This could devalue HHVM to the outside world, throwing away the benefits it’s bringing to PHP programmers everywhere. The closeness of the two languages will probably prevent this from becoming a significant problem, but it’s a problem nonetheless.

Amazon is making a box for your living room, and this is what its game controller looks like

It\’s suggested that the unnamed box will run a fork of the Android OS, just like Amazon\’s Kindle Fire line of tablets. Those tablets act very much as a storefront for Amazon, offering a wide selection of games, movies, and books. It\’s likely that Amazon will attempt to leverage its large content offerings with the launch of a set-top box.

Rails Is A Ghetto

I\’ve more or less kept my mouth shut about some of the dumb and plain evil
stuff that goes on in the Rails community. As things would happen though
I\’d take notes, collect logs, and started writing this little essay.
As soon as I was stable and didn\’t need Ruby on Rails to survive I told
myself I\’d revamp my blog and expose these fucks.
