There will be lots of places looking for devs, but I'd start RIGHT NOW before larger problems start to seep in and competition gets higher. Depends what your run rate is - but I'd probably give it a month of looking.

Do not wait it out to hear back no matter what you do. You don't have income and a large recession is looming - get that income back.
Well, based on this chart aggregating data from South Korea, China, Spain and Italy [1] (and while from Twitter, I have verified the data points line up)

People under 10, nobody has died yet. In the 10-19 category, the CFR is between 0 and 0.45% In the 20-29 category, the CFR is between 0 and 0.31% In the 30-39 category, it's between 0.1 and 0.3%.

So let's say they decide anyone under 40 with no co-morbid conditions should go out while the rest remain indoors. I'd say we're looking at a CFR of 0 to 0.1% so in terms of numbers, that would be between 0 and (33% of the population * 0.1% * 66M) ~20K people, max. That's in line with the ~15K flu deaths per year in a bad flu season in the UK. And that's assuming young people with co-morbidities do a bad job of staying inside.

You can call js directly using dynamic. From the docs[1]:

val document = js.Dynamic.global.document
val playground = document.getElementById("playground")
val newP = document.createElement("p")
newP.innerHTML = "Hello world! <i>-- DOM</i>"
playground.appendChild(newP)

I don’t see how that would be a problem, if each app didn’t have to bundle a browser, and could instead just use the system.
Android already does this. It's called Smart Lock. Just set your computer as a trusted device:

I find it fascinating how they want to build colony, but right now we are not even able to drill small hole in there. It is like running startup in three steps: 1) collect underpants 2) ???? 3) profit!!!!

You need robots even for colony. Farting into bubbles on LEO will not get you there.
I have a password on my lock screen, and a hotspot set up in the bottom left corner to engage the lock screen.

After a couple weeks, it became automatic to always move the mouse to the hotspot before I stand up.
Except you don't have to browse to page four of a giant thread to find out a posted solution doesn't work, and you can update an old answer when the information becomes outdated, etc.

Congrats!
>Call and apply are core concepts to writing good javascript.

But the biggest issue is the disagreement with the body of knowledge that everyone should have. Even in the body of knowledge, there's disagreements about what bits of knowledge go to which categories (Is it nice-to-know, or need-to-know?)

It's really no wonder you see such a broad range of candidate skills and knowledge. The sub-fields of the programming field can't even decide what everyone ought to know at various levels of experience!
You forgot that (object) Pascal found it's niche in Borlands excellent 'Delphi' product and that to this day it has its adherents.

There is also:

I've never used it but I've seen people using it and they were insanely productive and happy about the tools.
Take a look at these examples:

The Mu/Roll trick seems to be a default way of typing Y, while some languages (like OCaml) provide other type-system features like recursive types or polymorphic variants.
That is a good point. I helped with a kickstarter for a fusion project. Our budget was low but we hired some marketing people who spent about $6000 putting together a video for us. It wasn't great but it was the best we could manage. We got a ton of comments about how scammy we looked, including from many of the project's long-time supporters.

(Luckily it didn't hurt us too badly, we raised $180K.)
That would increase revenue for the municipality, but not for surrounding businesses.
You must have transferable tech skills that aren’t just specific to gambling?

Anyway (while I admit I know little of your actual situation) I think you’re probably overestimating how hard to would be to find another job - because you’re lacking in confidence, and the unknown component of what a new employer might want is daunting. I’ve been there - my assessment of my employability varies tremendously, due to nothing but my changing mood.

Why don’t you just try applying for a few jobs? Don’t look on it as an ‘all or nothing’ situation, and try not to attach any major hope there. View it as an information-gathering exercise - an experiment. Even if you don’t succeed at first, you’ll gather valuable information about the jobs market, and it might give you a direction to take in the generation of new skills.
Yes, for any specific mandate like this, it could easily be accomplished. The point is that in aggregate there are too many of these to accomplish. Competent management will choose the highest value things to focus on. This isn’t defeatism. This is realism. Focusing on everything is the same as focusing on nothing.

Realistically, mandating RESTful APIs at the exec level is unlikely to be a big win for Microsoft. The teams working on APIs at scale are largely already doing this (and you’ll notice multiple groups represented by the authors). The teams that aren’t doing this are largely not building APIs that benefit a great deal from RESTful APIs, because they’re building internal APIs or similar and RESTfulness would be nice to have but not particularly impactful.
I wonder if Germany is still the biggest market for dubs, or whether China has taken over.
They, uh, well, did mention it in the article, sorta:

I guess that counts for something, eh? :-)
>can get some table scraps from the government so that you don’t die as a direct result.

I think you've missed my point. By black and white I mean we are debating over where the appropriate line is between table scraps and government subsidized golden toilets.
One of the arguments made by the Wayland spec folks (many of whom were involved in Xorg development for many years) is that the Xorg spec is also a major cause of problems with modern Linux graphics[1].

No tech is fool proof, although we should always try for the practical best.

But, say our current tech is as good as we know how to make it. Data breaches, for example, would be much less s problem if we held relevant people accountable for due care. Who was the last CxO who went to jail, or was even criminally investigated and found innocent, for a data breach into their org? Or a perpetrator, for that matter?
What happens if you try to sell above maximum retail price? Is that forbidden by law?
The quality has definitely dropped.

There have been discrete points where I would buy a Reese's peanut butter cup and go "Yuck!". We're currently in such a phase right now where I won't buy them anymore.

I really notice when they tamper with the peanut butter. But there have been a couple of times where they over-sugared the chocolate.

Normally, I would have blown it off as "getting old" except that I mentioned that I wouldn't buy one anymore and two children (14 and 10) agreed that they started sucking that year.
LOL Bitcoin fanboys have shown up on this thread I see judging by our down votes...
The sum of all positive integers can actually be considered to be -1/12 in a self-consistent fashion. It isn't equal in the same sense that 2+2=4, and it's still true that the limit at infinity of the partial sum of the positive integers doesn't exist.

On the other hand, it really is a useful result. The negative part is, for example, why the Casimir force is attractive.

Here's an article about the whole thing, with links to the various Numberphile videos and Phil Plait articles that have been done about it: http://physicsbuzz.physicscentral.com/2014/01/does-1234-112....
I think you and the news article are thinking of different statistics.

The metric described in the news article is deaths by cancer per 100,000 individuals.

What you calculated is the percentage of deaths due to cancer.

I don't have access to the scientific article that was the foundation of this news piece but it looks like the reduction in death rate was not the authors' main point [1].

What we look for:
You will be responsible for designing and implementing the Java application that connects the front-end interfaces with the backend analytics data. This is the business logic that provides realtime decisions and powers the analytics dashboard.

- Foremost you must consider yourself an expert at building web applications using Java.

- Since this component will glue the frontend UI to the backend data, understanding AngularJS and DynamoDB are helpful.

- Experience using other technologies in our stack will get you a head start. These are GitHub, Jenkins, AWS S3 and EC2.

Your account appears to be 100% anonymous and does not have any clear link with twitter that implies that you are really speaking for the company. Unlike say Matt Cutts saying something about Google handling spam.

I'm a bit skeptical about 'bugs' like this lasting for over a year and a half without there being some kind of intent involved. It's hard to imagine how this bug could have come into existence in the first place, harder still to imagine that code review and testing didn't catch it and that nobody complained about it in the meantime.

Random accounts appearing in followed/follower lists would be weird enough given that that is core twitter functionality but to have that happen specifically to promoted accounts would appear to be by design rather than by accident, especially if those promoted accounts did not appear in the lists to begin with. That would require some serious overriding and additional logic unless twitter is implemented in an unlogical way.

To put it plain: a change in sort order does not normally change the contents of the lists, that requires a lot more work and is usually not unintentional.

For the most part, home automation is a horrible mess right now with incompatible proprietary systems that mostly don't even solve any particular problem.

That said, there's a definite tradeoff between having devices that just work and maintaining control over all the information storage and information flows. In the case of the parent comment, automatically backing up photos is actually a great feature for a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't back them up at all. But it's not so good when the service shuts down or your account gets hacked (as in the celebrity photos this past year).
Yes please share your knowledge as well.
Interesting... I did not see much politics when I went through it. Interesting how my mind works...
Thanks, I will check the thread out...
And did you ever refuse to sell to someone who refused their data?

I used to roll over, decades ago, but at least in the last decade I just calmly and firmly say "no" while looking them right in the eye. They just say OK and take my money, I don't know what they do behind the register.
That's a lot of `padding-top`. Almost looks like the vertical height is misaligned.
"Evidence that Satoshi Nakamoto must have beee active in the 1990-2000 cypherpunk community, so that he was well-aware of those discussions. This should shed some light on his possible identity."

I dont think so .... that's just noise. He might have just asked around and received advise from friends/colleagues or random stranger what should be avoided. You are reading too much into this. This sheds no light on possible identity. Only identity it sheds light on is how your mind works with tiny information and how you confuse noise for signal.
Yeah there's a lot not great in this.

Mean instead of median is a big one. I'd object more to the basic lack of explanation in many parts though, including why you'd pick the mean (during which they could well have talked themselves into fixing that error), why randomized is a decent strategy, what you're trying to avoid in a pivot, etc.

Be assured this decision does not reflect on the reputation of your business. As a regulated company, Stripe adheres to a risk tolerance threshold which is determined by a combination of local and international regulatory requirements, commercial partnerships, and other factors. Due to this, Stripe has a policy not to do business with people or companies that deal in high-risk regions, including Iran.

If you care about animal welfare at all and you know what goes on in factory farms it can be hard to take pragmatic positions. All the same though I think it doesn't help to come across as too uncompromising if you're trying to win people over to your cause.
that would be quite uncommon. what happens often though is the reverse. maybe you misread my point?
"Responsible disclosure" is an Orwellian term coined to coerce researchers into aligning their actions with the incentives of vendors. The better term is "coordinated disclosure", and coordination sometimes does make sense, and other times does not.
What of her policies seem ideologically driven, to you? To me, her policies seem extremely pragmatic.
Kind of disappointing to see that level of testing failure. A leap to assume there is something specifically strange about `666` without even trying `665`...
I suppose the GUI analog to gotty is Apache Guacamole, which should run emacs fine (along with most anything else).
I don't understand the hate for such methodologies (in the comments here) that seem to go down the wrong path. And this is coming from someone who is a strong proponent of functional programming.

The problem as I see it is pure functional programmers scoff at object oriented design being so prevalent while object oriented programmers seem so biased and giddy towards OOP when they haven't even seen the light yet. How come more people don't see that both are correct?

Both are the result of the market and people reacting (heh) to the market. This by definition means that both are correct but serve different purposes. What is fascinating to me is that the web has evolved enough to where user are expecting results immediately for their actions. This is an amazing time to live in. Why? Because this means the market is finally very invested in providing a fluid functional experience for the user. Since the front end is functional and the backend is OO, its very exciting times as we are the midst of real time innovation. React is just a tool to help connect these two very different pieces.

Functional programmers need to get off their high horse and ask themselves why frameworks are almost entirely object oriented. Object oriented programmers need to ask themselves why they didn't think of a reactive view sooner. Both are not 100% right but functional programmers come off as d*cks when they fail to see there is no continuum of FP principles and that in the real world OOP makes sense (say to connect the pieces between say a Scala backend and React front end). You'd think they would realized this sooner though when noting, for example, that "call by name" usually is more efficient than "call by value".
Just because the tech companies we read about on hacker news rely on and contribute to open source, doesn't mean that its a 'mental sickness' to use proprietary products. There's good workloads for open source (Apple uses hadoop/hbase heavily internally), and then theres unique proprietary solutions.
You could try k3s in the mini. k3s uses a less resource hungry setup, parity is not there yes as many resource definitions won't work out of the box.

> Working together is not the easiest path to that promotion, so the products remain separate

OTOH, another case of big-company-itis is over-segmenting your products and not allowing them to grow organically our of fear of cannibalizing your higher profit margin products.

Apple never letting the iPad get full keyboard and cursor support and saying "that's a Mac thing" leaves them open for disruption from Microsoft instead.

Xcode is likely planned for iPad, but it's a massive ecosystem (not just one app, don't forget there's Instruments, the Simulator, compiler build step scripts, etc etc) and will take a LONG time to port

So, are they faint and generic segments? :D
Android already has a solid way of navigating UI with physical buttons. The first generation of Android phones didn't have touchscreens, so the whole OS was designed around DPAD controls — it's support for navigating UI with directional buttons is second to none.

The problem isn't OS itself, but applications. Android application developers are frequently implementing custom graphical components, that do not handle "presses" and "clicks" and instead try to directly interact with touchscreen.

Google have made a number of increasingly aggressive attempts to work around the issue — for example recent versions of Android try to infer purpose and interactivity of custom UI elements instead of expecting developer to declare it. But that does not help, when everyone is using a handful of fancy libraries, hardwired to require touchscreen.

Incidentally, the biggest offender is not a third-party component... It is RecyclerView — Google's official item list implementation, distributed as a separate library. It's support for DPAD navigation is so abysmal, that Google's own engineers (from different department, I presume), had to create Leanback framework largely from scratch instead of relying on official RecyclerView components.
> TJ can engage in precisely the same systems that have historically excluded everybody but white people while still ending up dominated by south and east asian students

You’ve got it exactly backward.

“Historically” “white people” didn’t need to use standardized tests to exclude non-whites. They just did it. Standardized testing was used to distinguish among white people (just as it’s been used in China since 650 CE to distinguish among Chinese people).

In fact, the opposite is true. Standardized testing is pretty much the only thing that has allowed non-white groups to advance in white societies. There’s only a handful of societies where ethnic minorities have come to out-earn the majority population. Almost without exception it’s been the result of standardized testing creating level playing fields for people who lack the social capital that would otherwise be necessary for advancement.
I manufacture jeans, and this is misleading.

The strength of any textile (knit or woven) is a first a function of the yarn and then of the structure. Any heavy twill that remains unwashed for long periods of time (as all "selvedge purists" seem to do) will last longer than a pair of cheap jeans that get tumble-dryed twice a week.

Please stop perpetrating this myth that selvedge denim is somehow inherently stronger or better than regular denim. It should be indicative that most people need to turn the cuff of a pair of selvedge jeans to look for the actual selvedge before they know for certain.

To your original point that you find it confusing that apparel is expensive relative to other goods, it's probably because retail margins are disproportionate to the amount of cost it takes to sell garments for a list of reasons out of the scope of a Hacker News comment. Apparel is, at the point of sale out the door of a manufacturer, cheaper than it has probably ever been today. The amount of processes involved between planting a cotton seed and loading a container of packed garments is absolutely awe-inspiring in scope, and the fact that a pair of jeans is billed by a manufacturer at ~>$10 is crazy.
Facebook today closed at a record high of 309, up from 299, on the first trading day after this leak hit the press. It has since increased to a higher record high (currently 312 with 10 minutes left)

There are a lot of quantum mechanics episodes from 1-2 years ago that cause my eyes to just glaze over from all of the math and technical terms. However I feel like the newer episodes are much better at explaining things to the casual viewer rather than math nerds.
I have produced a fair amount of professional and belletristic texts since I have left school. The most difficult part is not the production of text, but the deletion. It is also the most effective way to enhance the writing quality. A general rule of thumb: whenever you have finished a text, try to cut it down by 1/3.
how is this acceptable?
